Evaluation Between Intervention and Feedback

The evaluation process can be regarded as one component of a more general administrative retrospective control system. Evaluation, as part of such a control system, is a systematic reflection on the final stages in the primary public intervention process. According to the general governance model, the public intervention process starts with initiation. Initiation concerns the identification of a problem, the solution of which supposedly demands public action. Preparatory work for political and administrative decisions can never be turned into pure intellectual problem solving. Invariably, it also contains features of conflict and conflict resolution. Feedback is supposed to produce redirection and reconsideration. In this stage of redirection and reconsideration, three things can happen as a consequence of learning continuation as before, change, or termination. On the basis of these new circumstances, the intervention process is supposed to run another round and be subjected to after–the–fact control, which gives rise to new feedback.
